Established

This helps developers who need to collect data from websites as they appeared at various points in the past. It takes a website's URL and a time range as input, then retrieves historical snapshots from the Wayback Machine. The output is standard web page data, enhanced with information about the snapshot's date and the archive URL, ready for further processing by web scraping tools.

122 stars. Used by 1 other package. No commits in the last 6 months. Available on PyPI.

Use this if you are a Python developer already using Scrapy and need to extract structured data from past versions of websites or track how web content has changed over time.

Not ideal if you only need to mirror raw page content without parsing it, or if you prefer to work with command-line tools outside of the Python ecosystem.
